Eric Bischoff has been a vocal opponent of AEW for years. The previous WCW vp and WWE normal supervisor has been outspoken about his distaste for the corporate and the way it approaches its programming. From his points with the corporate’s inventive choices to his disdain for the general in-ring product, Bischoff has taken photographs at each alternative.
Throughout a latest interview on Dallas radio station ‘105.3 The Fan,’ Khan lastly gave his ideas on Bischoff and his outspoken nature.
“I do not actually care what he says,” Khan stated. “We have completed actually, very well, and we have got an excellent factor going with AEW. We have one thing actually, actually to be pleased with. We not solely are going to be for years to come back doing the exhibits on TBS and TNT, we’ll set the report for the longest run of professional wrestling ever on TNT, in actual fact.”
For essentially the most half, Bischoff’s feedback come off as bitter grapes. AEW has reached important heights since its inception, and Bischoff hasn’t been consulted on any of it. Nonetheless, at instances, he does have some good factors.
AEW has been poor by way of creativity. Too many storylines have began and by no means reached a conclusion. There are far too many dream matches with no objective aside from to appease the (small however engaged) hardcore part of the fanbase. A number of big-name additions have failed to provide since arriving on the firm. Bischoff has had points with all of these items, and rightly so.
Nonetheless, Bischoff’s method has been all unsuitable. Sure, Khan typically seems to disregard constructive criticism. He funds AEW, he likes the product they usually’ve been profitable, so he has the proper to do issues his manner. Nonetheless, the corporate’s decline in rankings and attendance tells an essential story. Bischoff might have a problem with the corporate and its management, however he is aware of that AEW is nice for skilled wrestling.
However, it is good to see Khan clapping again. Bischoff has been left unchecked for too lengthy. There’s sufficient unfavorable protection of AEW with no real title inside the trade bashing it at each flip. Khan would have been higher served by fixing a few of the points inside AEW and letting the corporate do the speaking.
It will likely be fascinating to see how Bischoff responds. Nonetheless, if AEW can discover some consistency with its creativity and start showcasing expertise in a greater manner, it is arduous to see the place his criticism can come from. Every little thing Bischoff has a problem with will be fastened, nevertheless it’s on Khan to simply accept there’s an issue, and sadly, he by no means appears prepared to see the place issues are going unsuitable.
